A Few Good Men (Court Scene)
KAFFEE: I’d like an answer to the question, Judge. (beat) If Kendrick told his men that Santiago wasn’t to be touched, then why did he have to be transferred? Jessup is looking at DAWSON and DOWNEY (continuing) Colonel? JESSUP says nothing. (continuing) Kendrick ordered the code red, didn’t he? Because that’s what you told Kendrick to do. And when it went bad, you cut these guys loose. You had Markinson sign a phony transfer order– You doctored the log books. I’ll ask for the fourth time. You ordered the code red didn’t you?
JESSUP: You want answers?
KAFFEE: I think I’m entitled to them.
JESSUP: You want answers?!
KAFFEE: I want the truth.
JESSUP: You can’t handle the truth! (And nobody moves) … (continuing) Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it?
